Effect of Post-Disaster School Social Work and Its Causal Analysis

Abstract

This research, based on a case study of Foundation A’s Ya’an post-quake relief project, combines static group-to-group comparative experiments and discussions of focus groups to discuss and analyze the effect of post-disaster school social work and its cause in the four dimensions of psychological status, health status, learning status and behavior. Comparatively speaking, the post-disaster school social work has had the most notable positive influence upon the psychological status of the students in the disaster-stricken areas and some influence on their learning and behavior. The effect of the post-disaster school social work is related to the mode, professional level, value orientation and interaction status of the intervention. In the post-disaster relief, it is necessary to carry out school social work, to improve the recruitment system for social work, provide better services, build a multi-party participation mechanism and ensure an unimpeded feedback channel, so as to improve the relief effect.
